BISHOP WRIGHT CALLS AME CHURCH TO PRAYER TO OBSERVE GOOD FRIDAY FASTING AND PRAYING; IN CONFESSION, REPENTANCE AND CLEANSING
LIQUOR STATUTE TO BE ENFORCED Barmaid--take off that apron and come from behind that bar. There's a State law prohibiting the sale or dispensation of alcoholic drinks by women unless the seller or server is the person to whom license has been issued. A. J. Bartholomew, city alcohol beverage control head, says "Women will stop serving drinks or cafes will have their licenses revoked!" Meeting with Charles Brown, State Alcohol Administrator, the two men, City and State officials agreed this week to stop women from working behind the bar in the taverns of Louisville. Bartholomew said the law has more or less been ignored up to the present because of the shortage of manpower during the war. He declared that every place in the city known to be violating the law would be notified. He warned, "If they persist in ignoring the State's demand we will have no other alternative except to revoke the violators' license."

Rice, 34, 4629 Parkway Boulevard, was fined $10 on a charge of reckless driving in police court this week. A charge of disorderly conduct was filed away. Slated on charges of reckless driving and disorderly conduct, Rice was arrested early Sunday morning, March 6, after attending a rally at the Chestnut Street Branch Y.M.C.A., Ninth and Chestnut. Patrolman Almon allegedly hit him across the face, breaking his nose and requiring three stitches over his right eye, when Rice asked why he could not receive a ticket for the traffic violation instead of going to jail. The policemen, R. Gregory and Marvin Almon, testified that they were cruising in the patrolwagon going east on Broadway, at "about" 18 or 20 miles per hour, when Rice's car passed them in the outside lane, going at "an excessive rate of speed." Each of the officers estimated his speed near 35 miles per hour. They further stated that he began to cut in and out of traffic until he reached Seventh and Broadway, where he made a right turn against the [light?]. In pursuit by this time, they [said?] Rice was caught as he slowed down for a red light at Seventh and Kentucky. According to the arresting officers, the back license of Rice's car was off.

GET INCREASE AT MUNICIPAL 11 INSTRUCTORS ARE AFFECTED SALARIES IN LINE WITH ADJUSTMENTS WHICH HE SOUGHT, SAYS DEAN DOYLE An automatic wage increase, affecting eleven professors at Municipal College, Seventh and Kentucky, went into effect Friday, March 14, when University of Louisville trustees voted to adopt the same maximum and minimum salary scale for the Negro school as that applied to the College of Liberal Arts. The increase is in line with salary adjustments sought by Dean Bertram Doyle, of Municipal, in his recommendations to the trustees on March 1. The school head was elated that his proposal was accepted "in toto." Adjustment grew out of a recent protest of the American Association of University professors, who stated that the minimum scale for instructors at the Negro school was $800 less than the accepted scale set up by the association. Doyle said the university promised to eliminate the differential. Of the 11 persons affected by the new scale, two are professors, three are associate professors, five are assistant professors, and one is an instructor. The old scale for full professors at Municipal College was $3,200 to $4,000. The scale now becomes $4,200 up. Associate professors at Municipal College now will have a scale of from $3,600 to $4,500 to place of the old scale of $2,800 to $3,200. Assistant professors at the Negro school, who have been receiving from $2,500 to $3,000, now will have a scale ranging from $3,200 to $3,800.

Booker, who will make his appearance before the grand jury March 21, told police, they say, that he "just wanted a drink." -- Although burns and falls are the leading causes of fatal home accidents many other causes take their toll of lives--firearms, poisonings, absorption of poisonous gas, suffocation, drowning.
